Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Good song Dewey! I loved the writing. Very engaging. I liked all the Biab tracks you used on this, they worked together very well. I thought the shaker and bass were fantastic.

"WHAT I NEED is an all BIAB production", but it takes a good musician to use them as well as you did in this song.

Super mix, vocal, and backing tracks.

Two thumbs up.

Nice work.

I like that raspy character in your voice. Kind of like a Rod Stewart thing.

Good job on the writing as well as the use of the tracks.

I prefer to use my own guitar parts but there's been a few times when due to one of several reasons/excuses, I opted to simply use the RTs and get it done.

I enjoyed the song.

Hey M,

Good memory! Yes I have, but this version was cleaned up and incorporated some of the input from NSAI evaluators and you folks here in the PG Forum. It is available on all streaming platforms now too if you're interested in adding it to your playlists!

Na zdrowie!

Wow, best track I've heard on the forum in a while: terrific vocal, outstanding song and very good production. Maybe I'm the only one, but I could use a lyric sheet. However, I've listened to it several times now and I think I've picked up on all the words. Probably my ears getting old. Anyway, once again, SUPER job!!

Good song, good band, great vocal performance.
I like it. A lot!

As someone who LOVES vocal harmonies, the icing on the cake would be some harmonies in the chorus.

TuneMonger: Thank you so much for listening and sharing your encouraging words. The lyrics, if you are still interested in viewing. Na zdrowie!

I took pride in getting close while my feelings kept their distance
Got good at breaking hearts with skill and precision
Their tears were my trophies, their anger my joy
Thought a woman wasn't born who could tame this boy

Then all that karma came around
You lifted me up but slammed me down

CHORUS
The nights are longer than the days
I see their faces and my mistakes
The lesson you taught me has me down on my knees
Love wasn't what I wanted now it's what I need
What I need, yeah

I'd still be messing with their minds and affections
If you hadn't caught my eye and grabbed my attention
I finally was falling but you stuck to your game
Played me for a fool; put a link on your chain

REPEAT CHORUS

Seems I've got no place to turn, like water under the bridges I burned

REPEAT CHORUS

Ohh, oohh

REPEAT CHORUS

Love wasn't what I wanted now it's what I need
What I need, yeah
